It's not exactly surprising given how the US loves to deal in absolutes, but it's a bit annoying to sort through. Though it's not like there's anything I can actually do with the information anyways.

Our Canadian federalist government was founded on the same principals.
It's important that provincial and municipal governments remain autonomous.
